Weekend...
so this weekend.... where to begin.
we got there without a hitch. once we found the hotel room, we were given the option of having a little down time together or going onto the house where we'd get dinner with one of the families. we tried to be friendly and accomodating to our driver, so we said we could just head back with them so they didn't have to make an extra trip. plus we figured it might send a wrong message to say we wanted her to leave us alone and just pick us up in time for dinner after we just met her. if we had known that this was the only time we would have together by ourselves while only being semi-exhausted, then we would have jumped at the chance to be alone. the rest of the weekend we got very little sleep or time together without others. once we got back to the hotel every night we were so tired that it hurt to move. the bed was so horrible that we only slept about 30 minutes at a time. so that was the main downside of the weekend.
we were supposed to have a bachelorette party, but that fell through. the bride was supposed to buy lingerie for her wedding night, but that fell through too... somebody else bought some on her behalf so she didn't have to tell the groom that she forgot about him. the bridesmaid brunch also fell through. the actual wedding went by without a hitch, but now i realize that it was all the other things that got left by the wayside. oh well.
friday we had the rehearsal and met the crazy old lady wedding planner. she yelled at people and was continually cranky. such a delight. nothing was explained adequately, but somehow we were all just so good that we pulled most of it off without a hitch. at the end, we didn't end up in the right place, but nobody else saw. i'll write the next installment later. it's taken me so long that i figure you should at least get the first half now.
